A great tool that allows users to search for answers from scientific papers.
It is important to note that Consensus search engines are still in the early stages of development and may not be as widely used or as refined as established search engines. However, they represent an interesting approach to address some of the limitations of traditional search engines and offer users a different way to access and evaluate information online.
Congrats on the launch! It's really helpful, I used to try via prompts in chat asking GPT to give answers based on research papers. But I would check the answers by asking for the title of the article and authors to then check that it actually exists via google scholar😅 It's great to be able to simplify this task
Another great product! I was wondering what triggers the use of the consensus plugins? How does it work with languages other than English? If I've understood correctly, it summarises the publications found by consensus.
This works like a dream. I'll give you a concrete example... As a parent of a child with multiple special needs, we are always looking for answers we can trust. But when you ask Google for answers, you get hit with a barrage of blog posts from whackadoos peddling conspiracy theories that they've invented, misheard, or misinterpreted from reading scientific studies without really knowing how. So we've been increasingly asking ChatGPT, Claude et al instead, which is much more more efficient, but prone to hallucination, so you can't really trust that either. But with Consensus plugged in, you can get a list of only valid answers, including clickable links to the actual studies. Efficient and trustworthy. Great job @eols76 and team!
Congratulations on the launch, @eols76 ! It's wonderful to see makers taking a problem (ChatGPT returning source links that are dead-ends) and turning it into a useful solution for users. I'm sure many in the academic field would find Consensus very useful 👍
Just after a couple of searches I am exited... this is huge!… I hope for the best.
